We often hear women saying that they can put up with blackheads on their nose, a few blemishes on the face or even some discoloration on their upper lips but wrinkles are something they dread as they believe that they are the harbinger of decline, signaling that “one is over the hill.” Sure, there are procedures like chemical peels, botox, face-lifts etc to wipe out those offending lines but they not only prove to be very expensive in the long run but have several side-effects associated with them. The efficacy of those over-the-counter anti-wrinkle creams is also doubtful. Even if you are not blessed with the best of genes, the oldest, clichéd and the most sure-fire ways of keeping wrinkles at bay is adequate sun-protection, nutritious diet, regular exercise, a stress-free lifestyle and proper sleep. It’s a fact that you cannot get rid of wrinkles with homemade masks, nonetheless some of these face packs help rejuvenate, revitalize and give your skin a firmer texture.

ReplyDeletewrinkles surface first around eyes and the mouth and are sign that the skin lacks hydration. You can put a hold on them by keeping your skin protected from excessive exposure to sun and using a wrinkle-control formula. Though the sun gives us vitamin D, which is great for the complexion, going out in the sun without proper protection is an open invitation for wrinkles in the long run. It can even lead to melanoma(skin cancer).

Nurses often apply castor oil on patients after cosmetic surgery.

ReplyDeleteI am trying at the moment to find one particular reasonable anti wrinkle lotion but it seems certainly, there is not a thing that might cure my skin. If somebody surely identify certain therapy which might help to make changes simply inform me and I will admire this.
ReplyDeleteOlive oil will reduce wrinkles, there is nothing that can make them go away completely other than surgery. Olive oil is a natural, hypoallergenic way to moisturize the skin and it’s also high in monounsaturated fat, which makes up about 25 percent of the fatty acids in the skin. Once you apply it to the skin olive oil deeply penetrates and is a wonderful treatment for your face that you can leave on overnight if you choose. It is especially effective after showering, or you can add a dab to your bath for a luxurious soak that will leave your entire body soft and smooth. Olive oil is rich in Vitamin A and E which can help to renew and repair damaged skin.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely rub it under your eyes to minimize the wrinkles, the earlier you start the better. It could give you zits if you fail to properly cleanse your face.
There is no way to say what age you will start to get wrinkles. We'd have to take a comprehensive look at your family history, an in-depth analysis of your diet and observe your sleep patterns and stress levels! The best thing you can do is to take care of your skin the best you possibly can by using a daily oil-free moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30, wash your face every night (this is very important as well), you can even exfoliate once a week, do a mask every week, even try a night cream, but beware of the prices, you can get good products that are afforable. I switched from a $45 moisturizer to Neutrogena's oil-free moisture SPF 35 and the differences are minimal, so the savings are worth it! The most important of all is to drink all the water you need per day (you will see imporvement in overall health as well), eat healthy, and get your rest every night.
ReplyDeleteConfidence will help you age gracefully, whether you have wrinkles or not. :)
